Quick Fix Crack

5.4, Trad, 16 ft (5 m),  Avg: 1 from 3 votes
FA: N. Morgenstern
Minnesota > Duluth Area > Little Foxx Canyon > Foxx Rocks

Description

Not a bad crack for a quick fix! If this started from the ground it would be a boulder problem - but the ledge it starts from is 15 feet up so the fall would be big. Easy first lead and good for learning how to place cams and hexes...we might use this one to teach!
This would have had a vile name if Andy had done it first...established on rope solo.

Location

In a dihedral to the right of Grandma Bubbles.

Protection

Cams to #3

A beta photo shot from farther away to give an idea of the climb in relation to the crag as a whole. I don't believe the lower bouldering problem has been linked with the crack to form a 'new route'.
